First EVER basketball game!

Today was Keeley's first basketball game!  I sure hope she grows up to love the sport as much as her Mommy and Daddy:)  She went out on the court and was fearless and ready to play:)  She scored five baskets and we were soo proud of her!


In the huddle!!

The picture is a little blurry, but here she is making a little jump shot:)

Getting ready to play DEFENSE

Going through the line to congrat the other team

The best part about the game?  The snack afterwards!!!!!!!!!

2010 Re-Cap

I was going back through my blog and reading posts from last year, and noticed that I did a 'Year In Review' post last January, so I thought I should do another one!  We are already 10 days into the new year, but better late than never!

January-Keeley started the year off going to a new school that is right across the street from my office!

February-Mikayla and Keeley celebrated their birthdays and I went back to my ol' stomping grounds to a college reunion with my old basketball teammates!

March-I took a whole week of work off and Keeley and I went to Kansas City and stayed with my sister!

April-My mother and I drove to Stillwater to The Pioneer Woman's book signing!  Frankie and I also saw the OKC Thunder whip up on the Lakers.

May- We had a tornado rip through and get in a fight with our fence.  Keeley had her "end of school" carnival and I started and FINISHED my landscaping project in front of the house.

June- Summer finally began!  We also celebrated a nice Father's Day with Frankie!

July- Oh wow, this was a busy month.  I saw the Governator while on a business trip to Sacramento; We took a "staycation" in OKC ; We drove back home to Kansas so the girls could ride in the parade with my Dad; Mikayla's t-ball team won the championship; Frankie and I celebrated birthdays, AND finally, we discovered a great new park in town! 

August-We took a trip to Kansas City, Yasmine had a "salon" birthday party, the girls started school and we got a new grill after the tornado had taken ours away!

September- we went to our first OU volleyball game and we spent a lot of time watching football and enjoying the nice weather with cookouts.

October- This was another busy month!  My first trip to Chicago; Two of my very best friends came to stay the weekend with me; I went to my HS homecoming; the girls started Fall basketball; Frankie and the girls went to the WWE event in OKC!

November- We had our second annual girls weekend, had a run in with Richard Simmons, Frankie and I celebrated our anniversary in Cancun and the girls looked cute for Halloween.

December- We had another WONDERFUL Christmas and attended our very first OU women's basketball game. 

ANOTHER GREAT YEAR!

Nice Weekend

We have had a pretty nice weekend so far! I am still trying to get over a cold that started last week, but I am feeling much better. Yasmine had a birthday party to attend on Saturday evening, so we told Mikayla she could have a friend come over. They were having soo much fun that Mikayla asked if her friend could stay the night, so we ended up having a sleepover!


This was our last quiet weekend before the chaos starts:)  All three girls will start their winter basketball seasons next week.  Yes, I said all three girls.  (Can you believe they have a basketball league for Keeley's age group?)  It is going to be a lot of fun to watch, but will definitely keep us busy for the next couple of months!!

Girl's Day

The one thing about being a full time working mother, is it makes you appreciate your days off and being able to spend time with your girls just that much more!:)  While Frankie was at work, we decided to have a girl's day out.  We had lunch at Chili's, then went to the movies to see Yogi Bear.  Later in the evening, Frankie took us to the OU women's basketball game.  We had a really fun and busy day!


I wish these two got along this well all the time:)


Go Sooners!

The upper sections were empty, so we sat at the top and let the girls pick their own seats.  I love this picture.  I wonder what she is thinking while she is watching the game!

Future OU basketball players!

Christmas 2010

We had another wonderful Christmas, but it seems like it went by waaaay too fast!   

Christmas Eve:  The girls were wrapping presents for Frankie's parents.



These were our yummy goodies for Christmas:  Christmas Tree cupcakes, puppy chow and white chocolate chex mix.

Every Christmas Eve, the girls get to open one present.  Here they are anxiously awaiting to open their one present.


They opened their presents and they each got a pair of earmuffs.

We had our annual Christmas Eve dinner at "On The Border"!!!!

A beautiful picture around the "On The Border" Christmas Tree.


The second we got home from eating, the girls slipped into their Christmas PJ's.


Frankie and I wore our Christmas PJ's too:) Doesn't he look excited?

Getting the milk and cookies ready for Santa!

Yasmine had to arrange the cookies just perfect!

They also put out food and water for Rudolph and the rest of the reindeer.

SANTA CAME!!!!!!!!



Santa brought them each a Monster High doll!

Yasmine got her luggage she wanted!

Mikayla got her doll she wanted!

Here I am modeling my new purse my Hubby picked out for me!

Keeley got an IXL and hasn't put that thing down since she opened it!

Daddy got an ipad and he and Keeley are addicted to their new electronic devices. I found them both perched up against the bed, Frankie on his ipad and Keeley on her iXL.

Here they are two days after Christmas and they are still addicted to their electronic devices.

CHRISTMAS TIME!

As of 2PM today, I officially went on Christmas vacation!  I have all next week off, so I am looking forward to a nice break from work!!  I would say I am looking forward to sleeping in, but for some reason, when I have a chance to sleep in, those are the days I am awake at the butt crack of dawn.

Sooo, it has been awhile since I have blogged and it has been a pretty exciting month!  Frankie accepted the Director position at ODECC (Oklahoma Diagnostic and Evaluation Center for Children).  I am really excited for him and I am a proud wifey:)  I know he is going to do a great job and so far he is really liking his job.

In mid-December, we traveled to Kansas City to attend the Plattform Christmas party and it worked out great because the next day, we were able to have our family Christmas at my sister's house!  It was a FANTASTIC weekend!

Below are pics from the past couple of weeks:

A nice visit on Santa's Lap.  On her wish list?  A Monster High Doll.  (Only because she heard her sisters say that is what they wanted!)

I took this picture of Keeley right before we left to go to her Christmas Program at school and then I laid down the camera on the table.  Long story short, we left for the program and the camera was still on the table...soooo I have no pictures of her actual Christmas program.  AND, to top it off, Frankie and I both left our phones at home too, so we coulnd't even take a picture with our phone! 

The girls in front of our tree!

Family Christmas at my sister's house!

Grandma and Papa got Mikayla her Paper Jamz guitar she had been wanting!

Playing with the Furry Frenzy play city from aunt Nicole!
Hopefully I won't go another month without blogging:)  Since I am off work all next week, I don't have an excuse:)  I will make sure to do another post soon!
